The Renato Brothers reminded me of the Frost Brothers from X. Maybe their drive to dominate is fueled by being told that their model looked terrible and that they'd never amount to anything sometime in the past?

So now that the Kampfer Amazing has got its rear end beat I wonder if they'll do an end of the season upgrade for Meijin, it's like totally a Char thing to do and Bandai can sell a new kit. Hell it has to be red, how can you have a final badguy suit that isn't red?

Don't get me wrong I love the Kampfer, but something like a red Delta Gundam Amazing would be suitable. Or hell make a drat Hi Nu Gundam Amazing or a Nightengale Amazing and blow some minds.

Amazing.

Reborns was red and they retconned Zeheart's mecha to be red in the movie.

Anyway, I expect the Kampfer to be repaired. It's fighting the SBS in the opening.

Yuuki literally has a pit crew to help fix his Kampfer. Though to be honest, I'd like it if he took the opportunity to retool it a little.

Speaking of, Miss Sazabi and Exia Dark Matter have already been revealed, but we still haven't heard any word of that new Build Booster. It'll probably just be the Exia's, but I'd say there's still enough time for one last upgrade to the Build Strike.

I can't remember the last time the protagonist didn't get a late-series power up in a Gundam show. Sei'll almost certainly get one.

I want to know when or how we're going to see Aqua Mode considering the next fights seem to be Japanese Garden, Space and then (if the OP is to be believed) a burning active volcano. I doubt the Exia or Miss Sazabi will fight underwater either.

Sid isn't in the movie and Reborn is pretty drat red in contrast to the blue of the Riser. Not like it matters, the rest you posted are right.

Fun fact: we got the MG GN-X because a higher up was asked which 00 suit was his favorite.

00 had some fairly solid 1/100s. Not MG level of course, but they're still a thing. And no, the Reborns didn't get a 1/100 either. :negative:

What's it named out of interest? I'd honestly be surprised if after Allan's reaction to how badly the suit got damaged this episode he doesn't upgrade the Kampfer Amazing or make a new suit entirely. None of the existing silhouettes appear to match their aesthetic though.

I can't begin to explain how happy I am that that is not a freedom gundam derivative, judging by the silhouette.

Edit: it's got strikes big feet and ankles, and the rims at the top of the calves, and build strikes shoulders. It's probably just a new striker pack that helps to overcome everyone whose not an idiot figuring out how the absorb shield works.

As much as I hate to say it, the Build Mk.II has sadly become the "backup Gunpla in case the lead Gunpla is down" unit. The only thing it really has done is....get Sei and Reiji into the World Tournament. And that was only because Sei and Reiji trashed the Build Strike fighting Yuuki.

In retrospect it's easy to see now why the HG Build Mk. II was such a lazy conversion. It's amazing they even bothered with making a MG of it.

It was explicitly a backup Gundam, and it did its job well. It existing also meant the Build Strike was free to get trashed without Sei having to kill himself repairing it in a night.

And hell, it finished off the Apsalus, took down the DX, and rocked a game of Tamaire. Way better than the Orbital or the Exia RII. :v:

You know, that Nyaia Gundam might've just become my new favourite immediatly entirely because holy poo poo that's really loving weird. I'm sad that it appears in the manga and not in the anime because I'd love to see this thing animated. That's hilarious. Up there with the Nether Gundam and other G Gundam designs, despite being a SEED Destiny custom.

Speaking as a complete beginner to the art of Gunpla, how hard will it be to replace the head of that cat Gundam with the torso of the Beargguy III?

The possibility of building a ursine, feline, centaur robot will probably be the thing that tips me into the Gunpla abyss.
poo poo, followed the link and that cat form is only the transformed version and not an actual head. No possibility for centaur :negative:

That's not an official kit, it's a customized 1/144 Gaia Gundam based off the design from the manga. GG just randomly skipped the page where they actually show the builder's WIP for some reason.

Artum posted:

The silhouette is just the Build Strike Full Package. Almost all "preview" images have used either its or the Build Booster's silhouette to avoid spoiling things. Check out the gunpla commericals at the end of every episode for examples.

Still, the fact that they're releasing a new kit with its own booster while at the same time completely hiding its name means that this thing's going to be important. I'm confident enough in BF's writers to not pull a random villain from nowhere, so it's probably an upgrade to the Build Strike.

Joke option: Sazaki's Counterattack.
